A: It means the height from the ground measured up, so yes, you would.

Jakizle's ride really needs a better non going through the land tunnel and major custom wide supports for better realism.

Let's say I make a tunnel under the ferris wheel. If I make a .3ds terrain to overlay and hide the extra terrain I didn't want moved, would I be judged on the terrain that was moved anyway?

A: No. If you make terrain out of 3ds, it still counts as normal terrain. The tunnel will cost money, but not replacing standard terrain with 3ds terrain.

Please leave your opinions to yourself and let me judge my own contest.

ZOMG i'm finished. So sad that Arrow supports are the basic 'Single Support' supports. Now I'm already finished.

^Yeah, except Arrow only does it within about 50 ft of the ground...

And actually, they have done wide supports before. Watch a POV of "Titan" at Space World if you don't believe me.

(Just telling you this so that you don't get docked for something stupid like that...)

What it, the woodie-ish supports or the big steel poles?
And wide supports don't really fit. :D

Supports and footers can cross the red boundaries (unused park land), but must not cross the blue boundaries (not owned by park.)

What about supports that are in mid air? Since I see the ferris wheel also floating over the blue boarder...

^lol, I wondered how long it would take before someone noticed that...

Given the circumstances, yes, I'll say that it's okay. Just make sure that the track, the footers, and any other supports touching the ground, stay in-bounds.

Another question:
Can we use Catwalks as 3ds terrain replacement?

Sure, as long as you let me know in some way that that was your intent. (either make it known in the ride description, or color the catwalks the same as the surrounding terrain.)
